you have to file for a re-entry permit

A re-entry permit won't be enough if the green card expires while abroad though.

If you are only out for 6 months you will not need to apply for a re-entry permit, but if you will be gone for over 1 year then you would need to apply. Just know that being out for more than 6 months can have a bearing on when you are eligible to apply for citizenship. This page explains more about it. http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/international-travel-permanent-resident
